Allisa Spain is a hidden jewel to all our kids in the Larned district. She gets wonderful pictures of the fun activities they do, but what she also does no one sees is protect our kids! Some families choose to not put there kids online & they choose this for a multitude of reasons. She gets that & goes through pictures of 850 kids & makes sure those requests which can often be for safety reasons are met! What a big job to keep track of 850 kids' faces & names to help keep them safe. Thank you Allisa for doing an outstanding job loving & protecting our kids here in Larned!

It’s Fire Prevention Week and our Pre-K students got an exciting visit from the Larned Fire Department! 🚒
The students always love exploring the fire truck and learning how firefighters help keep us safe. Seeing a firefighter in full gear also helps our them know what a real hero might look like if they ever need help.
Thank you, Larned Fire Rescue, for taking time to visit and teach our students about fire safety! #larnedpride #bettertogether #lesfamily
